Jones in 1935 was building up an extraordinary photographic record of Southeastern Nigerian culture when he stumbled upon the clay formed wonders. Armed with his Roloflex camera Jones took shots of the 10 circular stepped pyramids. The Nsude pyramids are however yet to be carbon dated, but judging by the black and white photos (taken in 1935), they are 'very old'. The first base section was 60 ft.
In detailed flashbacks, Patrick Rothfuss’s bestseller follows the harrowing early years of the prodigy Qvothe, a musician, magician and hardscrabble orphan making his way from a loving home to the city streets to a university in a vaguely medieval world. Looming above his daily struggles, however, is his quest to avenge the death of his parents at the hands of an ancient evil foe. Part schoolboy saga, part sweeping fantasy epic, the Kingkiller Chronicle trilogy that kicks off with this book is not yet complete.

Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese looks a lot like a documentary.

Yet, these two have joined forces to make a song called ‘I’m getting ready’. The song is a single off Cobbs’ 2017 album “Heart. Passion. Pursuit.” The 8-minute song has Cobbs singing about reclaiming one’s throne in hard times while Minaj raps overcoming poverty and opposition with God’s help. She raps, “I serve a God that parted the Red Sea. Multimillion dollar commercials for Pepsi / From food stamps to more ice than Gretzky / I don’t gotta talk, the Lord defends me / I watched them all fall for going against me / Me and all my angels shot the devil up / While you was trying to pull me down, I levelled up.
